The main characteristics of catastrophes (both natural and those caused by people) were explained during the trainings, as well as what actions should be taken before, during and after the catastrophes. Later on, within the framework of the sessions, the participants had the opportunity to demonstrate the acquired knowledge, through practical exercises in which solutions for certain situations can be found. Additionally, the participants were provided with manuals for disaster risk reduction in kindergartens and primary schools, which contain information that the teachers can later on transfer to their students. During the workshops, evacuation plans for protection and rescue made specifically for those institutions were also elaborated.
